Excerpt from The American Student and the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford University: A Manual of Information It would, of course, be presumptuous for me to suppose that in this pamphlet there are no errors of any kind; because the Oxford System, being so anomalous, is very puzzling to us Ameri cans and because the more than twenty colleges differ from one another in many respects though having much in common. This, however, may be said with truth, that the author of this pamphlet has tried to make it a manual of reliable information for the use of those American youth who may aspire to become Rhodes Scholars at Oxford.
